* The entirety of Wrestling/ChrisBenoit tragedy. From talking about Wrestling/EddieGuerrero and his tragic death (given how he miraculously turned his life around), to Chris' downward spiral and the unfortunate double MurderSuicide of himself, his wife Nancy and their child Daniel.

** Wrestling/{{Chavo|GuerreroJr}} while talking about the moment Eddie [[DiedInYourArmsTonight literally passed away in his arms]] has to take a moment, his voice breaking slightly as he apologizes and says "I haven't been to this moment in so long." Somehow made worse when Chavo goes on to talk about Chris' reaction, he called to check where Eddie was for their morning work out, Chavo describes a brief pause before a "wail of heartbreak" from the usually stoic Chris.
* Wrestling/JimCornette's speech in regards to what happened to Droz, which shows why he takes wrestling so seriously. As he speaks, he seems to be tearing up.
-->'''Cornette''': Droz' still paralyzed to this day. It's more than 20 years. Things happen you know in this business. And it's not ballet. [[BerserkButton And that's why it especially angers me when people diminish it.]] One move, [[CareerEndingInjury he's been in a wheelchair for the rest of his life]]. [[SeriousBusiness So don't tell me that wrestling is a bunch of bullshit]]. Just some of the ways that [[Wrestling/VinceRusso people have gotten into it treat it]] is bullshit.
* Cornette becoming visibly emotional, to the point of holding back tears when talking about the accident that killed Wrestling/OwenHart. He also has a similar reaction when speaking about Wrestling/BrianPillman's death, still being rattled by it 23 years later.
* The ending of the Wrestling/UltimateWarrior's episode. Jim Hellwig, after his surprising induction into the Wrestling/WWEHallOfFame and making amends with several people, including longtime rival Wrestling/JakeRoberts, he goes on ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'' the next night and gives a rousing, emotional speech that turns out to be his swan song and then dies of a heart attack the following day. Making it worse is that Hellwig [[YourDaysAreNumbered knew it was coming]], as none of the men in his family had lived past their fifties (he was 54 when he died). It cuts in between the shocked/emotional reactions of Cornette, Hellwig's ex-wife Shari and Jake, the latter who is clearly holding back tears and only manages to say "Rest in peace".
* B. Brian Blair weeping as he discusses Wrestling/{{Herb Abrams|UWF}}' death in "Cocaine & Cowboy Boots: The Herb Abrams Story." This is topped off with a line which, in any other situation, would be considered otherwise funny.
